Swisher is a far left pundit. Same old stuff. Zzzzz. Latest states Biden won debt deal…. Not only not true but frankly stupid.

The arrogance and political short sightedness, especially from Kara. Just dripping with disdain from anyone not in her class.

I totally agree with Kara. The disinformation in this campaign was off the charts. No matter where I went ( I live in suburban Illinois) people were making snide comments that were inaccurate about VP Harris, the campaign, or the economy. Musk spent 44 billion to buy Twitter and ended up buying USA as a bonus.

I love the back and forth between you two. You know how to disagree amicably and we need more of that. Scott thank you for being man enough to admit when you are wrong. I appreciate your thoughtful insight on the young man crisis. Kara I found you because another podcaster mentioned your name and I looked you up. Thank you for your years of accurate reporting and being true to who you are. Although I don’t agree with you on everything, I really enjoy your thoughtful conversations and letting yourselves be vulnerable at times. Thank you. An avid listener

I can listen to Scott any day but Kara is just so much in her left bubble, it’s annoying. Though I still follow the show I do not listen to a lot of the episodes because I do not like the fact that she dismisses anything which is outside of her woke left bubble. Plus, please try to bring in more interesting guests.

Love this show and thanks to Scott for Balance and checking Kara’s comments but I learn a lot about the liberal left and their thoughts. Lately Kara has been basing and doing her best to destroy the Tesla brand mainly because she dislikes Elon. This is ironic because she was so against the cancellation of Bud Light due to transgender ads, she is unknowingly leading the same with Tesla. Kara should stop this attack on Tesla because especially with her power in media.

In the wake of Trump’s win, the only thing I want to listen to is Kara and Scott’s take on what comes next. It’s been three long days of waiting for Friday’s episode but knowing that it’s coming gives me peace of mind in a way that nothing else can right now. Thanks for all you do.

I love this show and as a Trump supporter I still respect and value Scott’s and Kara opinion. But common, ease off on Musk and insults please.

Starting listening to this pod several months ago to get the other side's perspective. It is a tough listen and shows how siloed we can be. This episode 2 days past the election is comedy gold. Will be interesting to hear if they recognize how out of touch they are or place the blame somewhere else in the next episode. If you're a Democrat this will be doom and gloom for the next 4 yrs and will have to pop a Xanax after each episode.

I listened to this podcast for years because it was well balanced but it has declined. I’m sick of the Elon bashing and arrogance from Kara. Unfollowed

Pity the poor richest man on earth, his feelings were hurt. Musk can eat a blank & he should lose is security contracts & clearance. I’d argue the government should take ownership of his satellites out of national security concerns. Screw his feelings. He’s not brilliant. He hires well and he played the (tremendously generous) hand he was delt well, but he’s not a genius.

Really Kara l? you once said… “you’re too famous to be on a dating app”???? You have got to find some humility in your persona.…..I hate to break this to you but 1/2 the time I mention I listen to this podcast ….EVERYONE knows who Scoot is and I usually have to explain who you are and I always get a look of confusion like “never heard of her before”. And before you go to say they are all stupid, almost all of my of my friends have advance degrees from prestigious universities….so their not stupid….,you just need to just tone it down….you’re not all that…..and in the spirit of the title of this review…..enough about your book. You didn’t cure cancer….you were a reporter…..granted, no Maureen Dowd, no Christian’s Amanpour but successful nonetheless….ill give you that. But a memoirs ?? Really?? You’re not 80…..And those reporters are famous. You are the definition of someone who likes to hear herself speak…,please find some humility….its an important quality….take a cue from Scott….he makes fun of himself all the time…..I don’t think you have in you to do that…unfortunately, I find you insufferable and have decided to no longer listen to this podcast. What’s ironic, you complain about the arrogance of the “tech bros”, yet you have just become like them….arrogant. You are raising kids…be better. Scott - Kira is so “off brand for you”…do better as well. I know you are tied to some contract with Voc but clearly, you would not be alighted with the personality traits of Kara. Considering your hight of popularity, you could get a number of really smart woman to team up with…as evidenced with raging moderates..thank god for that show…..Kara must be coming out of her skin knowing you and Jess have better chemistry and after the NY times article on Jess, Kara’s head must have exploded…I look at the way she treated her former producer Nayeema (a woman who is crazy smart, articulate, warm, funny, YOUNG, attractive) she must be up all night worried you are going to like Jess better than her (Kara’s seems like that type) And by the way….I see all the comments from other woman bashing Scott…..please….I'm so over all the male bashing…..it boring!

The show works better when Kara doesn’t dominate and shut Scott down. I get that men usually are guilty of this. Kara, you have flipped things a little too much and always insist you are right and ignore Scott’s thoughts. Essentially you are being a male jerk! Stop it, let the other person complete a thought.

Ive loved Pivot since 2020. Kara is amazing and Scott was….for the most part… Scotts disgusting and ill-informed takes on the ongoing genocide in Palestine has been difficult and disappointing to hear and that is an extreme understatement. I’ve stopped making this a priority podcast. Totally get difference in opinion but Scott is an actual Zionist and really shouldn’t have a platform…if I wanted boomer takes I’d go to an assisted living home. I also agree with previous reviewers mentioning the frequent Elon talk. The constant book/interview plugs are giving kardashian-level product placement. I can work with self promotion, but only for so long. I hope these hosts can pass the torch to younger and more informed successors.

It’s always about how she was the first, she knows everyone/everything, and she’s great and therefore cannot stop interrupting people. He is deeply sexist and there’s never a comment about a guy that’s remotely as ugly and brutal as his comments about the women in any given situation. Women get paid less, experience more physical violence, and are considered property in half the world. But we really need to worry about how hard things are for men. Okee dokee.

Recent frantic and arrogant political posturing makes me reconsider whether “all things tech and media” reporting was even on the level. Congrats for sinking below the level of those you castigate.

I love listening to Kara and Scott - I Iearn something new every Tuesday and Friday even if I don’t agree with everything they say. BTW Kara and Rachel Maddow are the most intelligent women - no I mean people ! in today’s media landscape. And Kara is absolutely correct to focus on Elon Musk- she has been criticized for this- he is a clear and present danger!

Way too many commercials…i know you have to make money, but with this many commercials, there is no choice but to skip them all

What was once a somewhat balanced, informative podcast has turned into a platform for Kara’s disdain for Musk, Trump, Besos and the likes. Every week, the snide comments, digs and sighs are too much. Plus, she sees most things through the eyes and mind of a diehard Democrat so it’s unbalanced. She is great at regurgitation of the mainstream media. Scott, on the other hand, is nuanced in his critiques, is able to see things interconnected and is “purple” which for many independents is refreshing. Listeners may want to take a listen to award-winning reporter Glenn Greenwald’s podcast - System Update for reporting from a journalist. As for me, I’m taking a leave from Pivot and will find Scott on his other podcast. Thanks.

Enough please

Yes yes. The banter version with Kara was fun but the full essay was riveting and refreshing.

Less about the hosts personal lives

I was willing to put up with his penis jokes and arrogant bluster, but he lost me several weeks ago with his enthusiastic support for Israeli war tactics against Lebanon & Iran as an effective way of controlling terrorists attack on Israel. I grew up in the Middle East and he clearly is stuck in self righteous Zionism which makes him unable to see the regional big picture. Thankfully I can still hear from Kara on her own podcast.

These people are absolutely insufferable. It's a shame because I think they're smart and probably have valuable insight but THEY ARE AWFUL. Self-congratulatory, pretentious, and morally just bizarre.

I used to listen to this show every week, but sadly I can no longer listen to podcasters who turn a blind eye to the mass killing of innocent Palestinian children. Just like brown lives are worth less to the powers that be, I guess brown listeners are worth less to Kara and Scott.

Sadly this podcast host lies so frequently listening to this show is unmanageable.

To call Harris’s fox interview anything other then pathetic discredits you and makes this hard to continue listening to.

Really sad to see Scott being so deaf towards Palestinians getting murdered on a daily basis is appalling.

I love Kara and Scott’s insightful commentary. I don’t necessarily always agree with them but I like that they speak their minds and don’t try to pander to the establishment or status quo.

Hosts are maliciously uninformed, hateful and hypocritical. It’s this kind of low quality content and lack of research that makes Democrats look so bad. Luckily the culture is turning and people are starting to realize how unhinged and radical people like this really are.

I love Kara and Scott and their banter is hilarious. The show is an interesting mix of tech news (and analysis), politics, and discussion of American culture. I don’t always agree, but enjoy the conversation. Sure, the hosts aren’t above name dropping re their celebrity encounters, but I’m interested in hearing when they’ve had some personal experience with a polarizing figure like Elon Musk.

It is astonishing to me that a husband, father, and public figures would trivialize serious issues such as consent and emotional vulnerability. “Just get her drunk” or “if she has a good relationship with her father, walk away”. He is an embarrassment to Kara.

Sadly had to unsubscribe after listening regularly for a couple years. Kara has increasingly injected conversations with high school- level gossip and subjective takes (“I sat next to them”, “they hate women, they’re sad, they’re weird, etc.”). Yikes. It’s not what I was tuning in for, and judging by others’ reviews, many feel the same.

I am a moderate slightly liberal but try to listen to far left and far right to hear what they say. Kara seems to dismiss all facts. She is a disgrace and elitist. Not sure how Scott can put up with her. Are child tax credits not taxes to childless cat ladies? I used to like show, but Kara is so vitriolic and hateful I am unfollowing. Unbalanced.

I love how Kara Swisher proclaims asking the mayoral candidates difficult questions, while her candidate Kamala hasn’t been asked a difficult question since she was injected into the nomination. What a joke!!

Galloway likes to bemoan the plight of white men. He should consider the fury & backlash that women will direct towards men if Trump wins, and it’s identified that 55-60% of men betrayed them by voting for a felon, adjudicated rapist, and rabid sexist … rather than stand up for the women in their lives right to control her own body, be demonized for being childless, & expected loss of right to birth control. He’ll really have some negative male data to moan about.

How are people still asking Scott for market advice? He lost all credibility when he said he sold his entire freaking portfolio after Trump’s election. I don’t like Trump either but I also don’t make life-altering financial decisions impulsively a la Scott. I guess at least he admits to his epic mistake?

I’m a mother, I was pregnant during the first half of this year and the biggest stress I have had so far is seeing that my daughter was being born in a world where other babies were being starved to death, a world where mothers and civilians are being bombed. I like to listen to different opinions since they usually make the conversation richer, but I’m really triggered to be put in an “antisemitism” bucket for pointing out Israel’s war crimes!!! Is Scott blind? Does he not see all the UN rules Israel has broken? Does he not see that Blinken broke US Law by lying about Israel blocking humanitarian aid to Palestine in order to keep shipping arms to Israel? I’m so disgusted! Israel has a right to defend itself but it does not have the right to commit war crimes. I’m not anti semite for pointing that out!!!!

I really enjoy your show and look forward to it twice a week. But like much of the civilized world, I was horrified when it Israel exploded pagers and other equipment to try to kill terrorists. Many people were injured and children were killed and this kind of disregard for civilians is rampant with Israel right now with their murder of all the Palestinians. It’s one thing to not disapprove of it, but it’s another thing to consider it a win. I’ve decided not to listen to anymore of Scott’s media and podcasts, by voting with my feet. However, I love Kara and I will continue listening to Pivot but seriously was horrified today.

If a “brand expert” cant see how much Israel is tarnishing their brand and is perhaps self sabotaging their future by burning bridges with allies it’s hard to take anything else he says seriously. Israel should exist but it’s not making it easier for itself escalating conflicts and having no room for a peace process. Netanyahu has submarined every attempt by the US and other allies to get the hostages home. These are bad faith emotional arguments Scott is trotting out and he should really do some introspection on the matter before speaking publicly on an area he has only become an “expert” in over the last 12 months

I can’t keep listening to Scott’s frequent and blasé dehumanizing of Palestinian life.

Love Kara. Galloway is just pathetic and continues to cheerlead for genocide. And obviously likes the idea of a wider war. He thinks the genocide is a “bold” action. Every chance he gets to celebrate wiping out an entire people, whether they participated in the horrific attack on October 7 or not, he does. He seems to get all excited because of how brutal all of it is. If I hear Galloway is off the show I will be back. I just can’t listen to his garbage any more. Bye

Really like both of them but it’s become an Elon Musk podcast. Enough Musk already sheesh

Trump used that in a Truth post about Joe calling Kamala “ vice president Trump” at the beginning of the press conference- but I’m sure you know that by now. As I listen more , I like ya’ll more!

Scott rocks but Kara comes off too arrogant and a know it all. :/ used to love this podcast.

Its increasing and both of these smart people seem jaded by there negative emotions toward anything that’s not on their side of politics

This podcast needs a producer who can rein in the hosts. Every episode starts the EXACT same way. Kara tells Scott that someone came up to her and complained about his jokes, points out which of Scott’s houses she’s currently staying in. Then she brags about a famous person she knows. Scott then talks about how much he loves his kids and brags about the fancy place where he’s watching soccer. It honestly takes about 15 minutes. Then the rest of the podcast ends up being rushed. The biggest issue, though is Kara. Kara is Barbara Walters. It’s clear that what Kara values most is ACCESS. She likes being close to celebrities and entrepreneurs and it gives her a huge blind spot.

Please why can’t you lead the way to stop X! Stop using X. I love Pivot, but don’t understand your continued posting on X. You and Scott should start a competitor, call it Quill. If you find Elon so horrible, why do you continue to use X.

It is highly problematic Scott does not see musk’s rape comment toward Taylor Swift as a rape comment.

I feel smarter for listening to this pod
